...Kit Storage Advice...
Plugs can be safely stored for up to 6 months. All are supplied with a use-by date.
A willow log which has been plugged 6 months ago. The white material growing in the cracks, and around the plug sites, is called mushroom mycelium-which is the mushrooms root system. This is a very good visual indication that all is progressing well and that mushrooms will soon be on their way.
